I am Number One

"Backstab." This was a skill that Seuss learned in the Class Hall with silver coins after he reached Level 5.

Backstab: Deals 200% damage while attacking the enemy's back. At the same time, there is a chance to cause 0.7 seconds of stun.

Daydreamer told Seuss that this was a godlike skill for an early-stage Thief. Many times, he could rely on this skill to escape.

After a day of training, although Seuss had yet to obtain the Stealth skill book and learn Stealth move, Daydreamer and the rest had already told him everything they knew about the Stealth move.

As a Thief, walking in the shadows could greatly reduce his presence. It was impossible for creatures like the night cat to discover him.

Although the name of a night cat was called Night Cat, in reality, a night cat was not a nocturnal creature, and neither was it a cat.

It was only because it looked similar to a cat and was entirely black that it had the name of Night Cat.

In fact, all the monsters had appeared after Jobia and the gods fought against the evil gods of the outer realms. They were all extraterrestrial creatures.

Standing behind the night cat, Seuss activated his Backstab and stabbed the dagger ruthlessly into the back of the night cat's neck. This was from Seuss's experience. They would be stunned every time when they get stabbed in the back of their neck.

After being stabbed in the back of the neck by the dagger, the night cat instantly woke up from its dream and let out a shrill scream. However, just as it cried out, it entered a stunned state.

After seeing that the night cat had entered a state of dizziness, Seuss did not continue his attack. Instead, he turned around and ran towards Daydreamer and the rest.

After running for less than five yards, the night cat woke up from its dizziness.

Seuss had already arrived in front of a large tree at this moment and seeing that the night cat was about to pounce on him, he kicked at the large tree and used this force to change his direction.

At that moment, the night cat had already pounced onto the trunk. Its four claws were stuck on the tree, but its head was still looking at Seuss, ready to pounce at any moment.

But at that moment, Seuss raised his right hand and clenched his fingers. Three arrows flew out from his sleeve.

At this moment, the night cat had just stabilized itself on the tree and was unable to dodge in time. It was hit by the three arrows and one of the arrows even hit the night cat's feet.

At this point, Seuss did not continue to run. A wounded night cat could no longer outrun him.

After the arrows were fired, Seuss charged towards the night cat with a dagger in his hand.

Seeing Seuss rushing over, the night cat endured the pain and pulled out the leg that was nailed to the tree. It opened its mouth and bit at Seuss.

Seeing the night cat's attack, Seuss changed his footsteps and went behind the night cat. The cooldown time for Backstab had just refreshed, so he stabbed the back of the night cat's head again.

Taking advantage of the stun, Seuss gave the night cat two more stabs. Seeing that the night cat only had a little bit of health left, Seuss backed away immediately. A fireball hit the night cat, ending its life.

"This is a new player?" The person who spoke was a mage. Due to some matters, he had been delayed from entering the game. This was also why Seuss and the rest were still fighting the night cats.

"No matter how I see it, he looks like an old and experienced thief. How does he look like a newbie?" Mage Azure exclaimed.

"Hahaha." Daydreamer put his arm around Seuss's shoulders. "See? This is the president of the biggest guild in our previous game. To be able to gain his recognition, Stars, your talent is really not bad."

"Captain taught me well…" Before Seuss could finish his sentence, a voice suddenly sounded in the sky. Everyone could hear it.

"Congratulations to Player Flying Around for opening the first Gold Treasure Chest and unlocking the Treasure Chest Leaderboard. Player Flying Around's reputation points in Greenland Empire have increased by 100."

…

The same voice sounded three times, and everyone heard it.

"I didn't expect Flying would still love to open treasure chests so much." Azure sighed.

Daydreamer smiled and said, "If Flying stops opening the treasure chest, how could he still be called a treasure chest hunter?"

He turned his head and looked at Seuss before continuing. "I've played many games with Flying before. Every time, he would open treasure chests like a maniac so we usually call him the treasure chest hunter."

At this moment, Seuss opened the game menu. The originally empty game menu now had a Treasure Chest Leaderboard.

There was only one name on the Leaderboard, and that was Flying Around. He had already opened a Gold Treasure Chest, three Silver Treasure Chests, and seven Bronze Treasure Chests.

Looking at Flying Around's achievement, Seuss was still a little envious. He had only opened a Bronze Treasure Chest before, and that was when he had accidentally discovered it while luring the monsters.

Daydreamer and Seuss had long since added each other as friends in-game. He sent over a picture and it was a man who looked to be in his thirties, standing next to a haystack and prying it open. Inside was a golden treasure chest.

The man's smile was extremely bright, and it could be seen that he was quite happy. However, Seuss was not in such a good mood right now.

He had guessed why Daydreamer had sent him the picture. It was where they had killed the first night cat.

In the morning, Seuss even stepped on that spot and fought with the night cat there.

"What a pity." Azure sighed. It was obvious that Daydreamer had told him everything. "Don't worry. It's just a minor mistake. There will always be some bits and scraps in the future."

"Don't worry. I didn't realize it was because I'm not capable enough. It's not enough to put me down." Seuss smiled brightly.

Although he had missed out on a golden treasure chest, it was just as he had said. It just wasn't his to take, so he couldn't blame others. He couldn't expect others to let him have his way, right?

"Come, let's kill all these night cats." Seuss continued to help Azure with his quest.

…

Looking at Azure handing the 20 cat tails to the farm owner, Seuss couldn't help feeling sympathy. No wonder the farm owner was so anxious.

When Seuss handed in the quest, he saw that the farm owner had already collected hundreds of cat tails.

Given this number of night cats, even a large farm would find it difficult to operate normally, let alone a small village farm.

After ridiculing the game, Seuss looked through his backpack. It was originally empty, but it was now filled with all kinds of junk.

A set of mana recovery potions, a set of pancakes, and some random items dropped by monsters, such as the night cat's ears, the burnt staff of a depraved wizard, and the teeth of a strange fish.

Each of these monsters would drop something useless. Seuss collected every one of them not because he expected them to be useful in the future, but because Seuss had a simple hobby of collecting.

The most valuable item in the backpack should be the skill book.

Skill Book: Stealth

Level Requirement: Level 8

Skill Effect: Enter Stealth mode for 30 seconds. Movement speed will decrease by 50% under Stealth mode. Appear after being attacked or attacked. Cooldown is 3 minutes.

Seuss was only level 7 and was one level away from being able to use the skill book.

On the other hand, Daydreamer's Heal skill had been used.

They had already hit level 8.

This was something that could not be helped. When a party fights monsters together, the experience would automatically be distributed according to the contribution.

In the morning, Seuss's control was too poor so he made very few contributions. Naturally, the experience assigned to him was also inferior to others.

"Congratulations, Player I am Number One for being the first to break through level ten and unlocking the Rank Leaderboard, Fire Rain Spell has been awarded."
